Preventing Thermal Runaway Reactions with Fast-Response Sensors
| Alina GreenThermal runaway reactions are one of the leading causes of accidents in chemical and petrochemical plants. To prevent such catastrophes, operators should continually monitor temperatures using sensors with the fastest possible response time for that application. …
Tubeskin Temperature Measurement: How to Improve Tubeskin Thermocouple Accuracy on a Butter-Pad
| Robert TorgersonThis article is a continuation of “ How Butter-Pad Affects Tubeskin Thermocouple Accuracy .” WIKA conducted a series of tests – both in the field and using computational fluid dynamics – to evaluate the accuracy of tubeskin thermocouples (TSTCs) when …
How Butter-Pad Affects Tubeskin Thermocouple Accuracy
| Robert TorgersonA butter-pad allows refineries to weld new thermocouples onto it rather than directly on the bare furnace tube, as repeated welding damages the tube’s integrity. However, using this weld overlay affects the accuracy of temperature readings. WIKA conducted a series of …
Pressure and Temperature Instruments for Hydrogen Fueling Stations
| Jeff PlacekHydrogen filling stations need a variety of high-quality, hydrogen-compatible measuring instruments for storing, compressing, cooling, and dispensing the fuel. This article is a continuation of “ Hydrogen Fueling Stations Need Specialized Instrument Solutions …
